Hello! First - we hope you had a very Happy Valentine's day. We delayed the recording of this week so the likes of Shaun could celebrate the day with his wife...HIS WIIIIIIFE. All three of the boys are here this week - so yay! The topic was awesome - and came via a rare Nintendo "shadow drop" - Metroid Prime - remaster. Jon gave it the highest of praises and proclaimed that we all should play it, in fact asked us all to. Can you guess what "Richard" he gave it? Check out the Nintendo Direct that announced it for it and to see the new Zelda trailer - it was hype.  Last week we said "#Eagles or #Chiefs We'll know by our next recording who won." …well we do! Congrats to the Chiefs Nation!  Next time,  oin us live on Twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. - we record on the Tuesday prior to Wednesday's release. We usually start around 5:30 pm E.S.T. As always thanks once again for the twitch chat, emails, tweets...you know...alllll the things. Speaking of those  EMAILS - please send to [email protected], if you want. We don't really want Chris to threaten us with "THANOS-ing" us, like ever, do we?!?!  We've been doing pretty good - I'm just saying...    GAME ON everyone!!!!

Well, right out the gate, let's just spill the beans, Jon's not here today -  he took PTO. NO WORRIES! Calm Down! Chris and Shaun are here to cover a once shadow-dropped game that is pretty awesome. What game? Oh  that game is: Hi-Fi Rush. Released on Xbox and Steam/Windows, this game caught fire. Amazing reviews and comments popped up everywhere once people got their hands on it and for good reason. Labeled as a "rhythm game"  - sure it's that - but more as well. Beautiful aesthetics, a banging soundtrack and all in all, a really good time.  Chris mentioned it's a game that doesn't "overstay it's welcome" . What he means it's a perfect balance of length, gameplay and you have a fun time while playing it.  Speaking of playing - Shaun recommends playing with headphones on, and turn it up. It's the week of the "Big Game" in the NFL - who ya got? #Eagles or #Chiefs We'll know by our next recording who won. Until then...reminder for next show:  join us live on Twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. - we record on the Tuesday prior to Wednesday's release. We usually start around 5:30 pm E.S.T. As always thanks once again for the twitch chat, emails, tweets...you know...alllll the things. Speaking of those  EMAILS - please send to [email protected], if you want.

Its that time of year! As we all try to survive the coldest winter ever in the states, here are some of the best video game music tracks that we heard in 2022. As always happy holidays from all of us at Weekly Games Chat and we'll see you next year as we cover all 9000 games coming out in the first six months of 2023.

Track List:

The last "live" episode of 2022 ends with a game - turned topic - that Chris has been waiting for. It's called High on Life. This game is from the Co-Creator of Rick and Morty and published by Squanch Games.  The game is a comedic, first person shooter game full of that aforementioned Rick and Morty humor. As a matter of fact - Chris noted that if you are a fan of that - this game would most likely be a joy for you to play. He also cautioned, while you could still enjoy it if you're not a fan - you might also not.  But hey, currently it's on Game Pass - give it a go! The holiday season is in full swing, so being the nice guy he is - Chris gave you a SECOND topic. WHAT?!?! It was a blast from the past for sure. We hope you enjoy. Staying in that holiday vibe - we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday. Thanks for making 2022 awesome! Next time - join us live on twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. As always thanks once again for the twitch chat, emails, tweets...you know...alllll the things. EMAILS - please send to [email protected]. We don't want Chris to threaten us with THANOS do we?!?!

Ahhh, the one where we pre-recorded the topic....Hey there! Thank you for  listening and welcome to this week's show. We are about half-way thru December 2022 - hope you're getting that Christmas shopping tightened up - it will sneak up on you! But yeah - Jon was not there for the twitch show and most of the main show's meat and potatoes - but - he was there for the topic which he recorded prior. This week - he discussed a game he was very much looking forward to - Calisto Protocol. Not a game that should take you more that maybe 10 hours to complete...hear all what Jon has to say about it. This week College Football lost a head coach - Mississippi State Head Coach Mike Leach passed away suddenly, so of course, we all hope the Leach family eventually finds peace and we send our thoughts and prayers. A BIG Thanks goes out to all of YOU who keep this show going. Next time - join us live on twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat.
